Preface
In the eight years since the publication of the third book in three volumes, called The Biomedical Engineering Handbook, the field of biomedical engineering has continued to grow and expand. To reflect the state of knowledge and needs in this important discipline, we have substantially revised and expanded the fourth edition into four parts:
• Part I: Fundamentals of Biomedical Sciences
• Part II: Medical equipment and people skills
• Part III: Biomedical Evidence, Imaging, and Computer Science
• Part IV: Molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering Particularly, this fourth edition has undergone extensive revisions and includes entirely new chapters.
• Cellular architecture
• Designers create drugs, delivery systems, and devices.
• Special treatment is provided, which includes these and a number of heavily updated units.
• Tissue Engineering (fully adapted)
• Behavioral phenomena and biomimetic systems
• Industrial facilities
• Visualization
• Medicine Additionally, Part IV includes a chapter on ethics because of its increasing role in biomedical technology.
The first three books’ chapters have undergone significant revisions. Therefore, this fourth edition provides an excellent summary of the knowledge and practices of biomedical researchers in the early 21st century. Therefore, it may be a beneficial book for those interested not only in an overview of basic physiology but also in ways to make rapid progress in some areas of biological research. Students in fields such as biomechanics, biology, bioinstrumentation, and medical imaging find it an excellent textbook. Any field of biological engineering can benefit from its comprehensive overview, serving as a “bible” for the biomedical engineering profession. It covers topics such as the historical perspective of biomedical engineering, the role of professional associations, ethical issues related to biomedical engineering, and the FDA.
Biotechnology is now important and useful in various fields. Biomedical engineers are involved in all aspects of the development of new medical technologies. They deal with the design, development, and use of equipment and devices (pacemaker, lithotripsy, etc.). They work as a member of the healthcare team, specializing in areas such as clinical medicine, medical informatics, and rehabilitation engineering. They possess clinical research and application skills, such as signal processing and artificial intelligence, and they strive to find innovative solutions to complex problems. Complex health challenges confront our society. This book offers a central focus of knowledge in these disciplinary areas, catering to the needs of a diverse group of biomedical engineers. But before presenting these details, it is important to give an overview of the development of the modern medical system and know the different activities that biologists carry out to help in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Evolution of modern medical systems Before 1900, medicine had little to offer ordinary people, as its resources consisted mostly of doctors, their schools, and the “little black bag.”“ There appeared to be a general shortage of doctors, but there were reasons for this shortage other than the lack of available medical personnel. Despite the relatively low cost of obtaining a medical education, the demand for medical services remained low, with many physicians providing their services to experienced volunteers in the community. The home was often a place of treatment and rehabilitation, and relatives and neighbors provided a skilled and willing nursing staff. Midwives gave birth to children, and illnesses that were untreatable at home caused harm or even death. The difference between it and the modern medical system, where doctors and specialist nurses provide diagnosis and treatment services in hospitals, is striking. Rapid advances in practical science initiated changes in medical science. This process of development was characterized by a variety of industrial fertilizers, creating an environment in which medical research could make significant progress in the development of techniques for diagnosing and treating diseases. In 1903, Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven designed the first electric circuit to determine the electrical activity of the heart. He ushered in new eras in both cardiology and electrophysiology by applying discoveries in the natural sciences to the analysis of biological processes.
We pursued new discoveries in medical science as intermediaries in the chain. But the biggest innovation in clinical medicine was the development of X-rays. W.K. Roentgen described this ‘new type of radiation’ in 1895, which opened the ‘inner man’ to medical research. Initially, doctors used x-rays to diagnose bone fractures and dislocations, and by that time, many urban hospitals had adopted x-ray machines as standard equipment. Hospitals have established various radiology departments, and their influence extends to other departments. By the 1930s, x-ray imaging of almost all body systems became possible using barium salts and various radiopaque materials.X-ray technology provided doctors with a powerful tool that allowed them to accurately diagnose a variety of diseases and injuries for the first time. Additionally, doctors and clinics had to install x-ray machines, which were both difficult and expensive. Once there, X-ray technology enabled the hospital to transform from an inpatient facility to a medical center.
Many other important technological developments in medicine have made the integration of healthcare services necessary for economic reasons. Hospitals continued to be challenging institutions, but the introduction of sulfanilamide in the mid-1930s and penicillin in the early 1940s significantly reduced patient infection, the main risk of hospital admission.
With these new drugs in hand, surgeons can perform surgeries without morbidity and mortality due to infection.
